Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to lens module assembling devices.
- Lens modules are widely employed in camera systems and mobile phones for image capturing.
- it When assembling a lens module, it usually needs an assembling platform to hold a lens barrel.
- the assembling platform is made from metal, and the lens barrel inevitably contacts with the assembling platform during the assembling process, and exterior of the lens barrel is easily damaged.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a lens module assembling device including a platform according to an exemplary embodiment.
- FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the lens module assembling device of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the platform of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing an assembling state of a lens module using the lens module assembling device of FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line V-V of FIG. 4 .
- FIGS. 1-5 show a lens module assembling device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment.
- the lens module assembling device 100 includes a platform 10 , a deformable support member 20 , a deformable limiting unit 30 , and a gas blowing device 110 .
- the platform 10 is substantially cuboid.
- the material of the platform 10 is metal.
- the platform 10 includes a first surface 12 and a second surface 14 opposite to the first surface 12 .
- the first surface 12 defines a receiving recess 16 configured for receiving the deformable support member 20 .
- An inner diameter of the groove 16 is slightly greater than a diameter of a lens barrel 50 . This ensures that the lens barrel 50 is not inclined during an assembling process.
- the platform 10 includes a bottom surface 160 in the receiving recess 16 .
- the platform 10 also includes a number of through holes 180 extending through the bottom surface 160 .
- the through holes 180 are uniformly distributed on the bottom surface 160 and through the bottom surface 160 and the second surface 14 .
- the deformable limiting unit 30 is arranged on the first surface 12 .
- the deformable limiting unit 30 includes a limiting hole 34 configured for extension a portion of a lens therethrough, and the limiting unit 30 configured for blocking the lens module from moving out of the recess 16 .
- the lens barrel 50 is arranged on the deformable support member 20 during the assembling process.
- the limiting unit 30 includes two limiting pieces 32 , and the two limiting pieces 32 cooperatively form the limiting hole 34 .
- Each of the limiting pieces 32 defines a hole 36 and includes a semicircle surface for conforming to an outer wall of the lens barrel 50 of the lens module.
- the limiting piece 32 is made from sponge, rubber, wood or foam plastic.
- the gas blowing device 110 is arranged below the second surface 14 of the platform 10 , and configured for blowing gas to the lens barrel 50 through the through holes 180 .
- the gas blowing device 110 includes a control system (not shown), and pressure parameter of air flow and duration parameter are predetermined in the control system.
- Step 2 The lens barrel 50 and two optical elements 60 are provided.
- the two optical elements 60 are respectively an optical lens and a spacer ring.
- the lens barrel 50 includes a projection 52 along the peripheral of the lens barrel 50 .
- the lens barrel 50 is placed on the flexible supporting part 20 .
- an end of the lens barrel 50 with a light aperture is placed on the flexible supporting part 20 .
- the lens barrel 50 is limited by the two limiting pieces 32 with the limiting hole 34 .
- the spacer 38 is placed on the first surface 12 and the limiting piece 32 is located above the spacer 38 .
- the first screw 121 penetrates the hole 36 , the spacer 38 and the first screw hole 120 and then fastens the one limiting piece 32 on the first surface 12 .
- the second screw 123 penetrates the spacer 38 , the other limiting piece 32 and the second screw hole 122 and fastens the other limiting piece 32 on the first surface 12 .
- Step 3 The gas blowing device 110 is opened to apply stable air flow 111 .
- the air flow 111 can arrive at the bottom end of the lens barrel 50 via the through holes 180 .
- a suction nozzle (not shown) is applied to pick up the optical elements 60 and assembles them into the lens barrel 50 , and then a lens module is obtained.
- the buoyant force applied by the gas blowing device 110 is greater than the pressure force applied by the suction nozzle and the gravity of the lens module.
- the lens barrel 50 is not in contact with the flexible supporting part 20 during the assembling process, and damage to the lens module is avoided.
- Step 4 the gas blowing device 110 is shut down, and the lens module is moved away.
